In moving heavy rolls of paper, such as rolls of newspaper, by means of a crane,

or the like, it is customary to insert bars suspended .t'rom the crane into the ends of the openings i the paper rolls. Heretofore bars of this sort, owing to the weight of the paper rolls and the leverage exerted frequently resulted in mutilation ot the paper about the openings receiving the bars, or in the breakingdown of the cores where the paper is wound on such cores. It is the ob- "iect of the present invention to ovecome 5 this difliculty and to this end I provide bars by means of which rolls'ot paper may be lifted without danger of injuring the same.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a view showing the manner in which the bars of the present invention are employed for connecting a roll of paper to a crane; and

Figure 2 is an enlarged view showing one of the bars within. a paper core on which a roll oi paper or the like is Wound.

Referring to the drawings in detail, a denotes the boom of the crane or the like, and Z) the chains or ropes by which the roll of paper 0 is suspended from the boom. In

the present instance, the roll of paper 0 is shown wound on a core The boom, chains, and roll of paper are illustrated in dotted lines, since they are shown merely to inclicate one manner in which the bars of the present invention may be employed.

Each .01 the bars 01 the present invention is provided with a relatively long spindle 1O entering the opening of the core to of the roll of paper. The opposite ends of each spindle are similarly tapered in opposite directions, as at 20, 30, so that relatively long substantially parallel bearing surfaces between the core wall and the spindle are obtained thereby greatly reducing the like lihood of cracking or breaking down the wall of the opening. On the protruding end of each bar is a grooved head 32 about which the chains are adapted to pass. The spindle portion of the bar is considerably longer than the protruding end so as to red uce leverage.

I claim as my invention l. A pair of members adapted to be inserted into the opposite ends or the opening in a paper roll and each comprising a spindle having its ends similarly tapered in opposite directions, and means protruding beyond the roll for attachment to a suitable supporting member.

2. A pair of members adapted to be in sorted into the opposite ends of the opening in a paper roll and each comprising a relatively long spindle having its ends similarly tapered in opposite directions and means protruding a relatively short distance beyond the roll for attachment to a suitable supporting member.
